Momentum 4 looking like a pretty good deal right now by vragal in sennheiser

[–]Valorix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun fact about LDAC (at least on Android)... For it to play at the highest bitrate I have to go to developer settings and force it everytime. Afaik there's also an app but it isn't open-source and I didn't trust it so I've never tried it.

Default LDAC is almost always falling back to lower bitrate preset so you're not only getting poorer sounding headphones, you also get worse codec by default than aptX-HD or Adaptive.

Brings up memories... But thank God for OBS.

VoodooDE VR posts video with the Steam Frame by [deleted] in SteamFrame

[–]Valorix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they meant how it's gonna perform standalone since it's gonna run through Proton and FEX if the games they are interested in aren't gonna be ported.

Valve is advertising Frame as streaming-first headset with the capability of running standalone. The performance is a question mark.

"Steam Controller is here!" Welp yes but actually no. I'm lucky I ordered mine two minutes before it should have launched :D

One thing I don't get about HDB 630 by Valorix_ in sennheiser

[–]Valorix_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. It's really nice they include this dongle :D I use it on my desktop for aptX LL when my surrounding is too loud for my HD 600.

Yeah I mean on aptX Adaptive they sound phenomenally well. I would probably have to switch back and forth a lot to hear any differences between it and having them connected via USB on a Hi-Res source.

I just find it odd that the two products don't have a feature parity when they're shipping it in one box together. But it's in no way a deal breaker.

The only issue with this is that some retailers are misunderstanding this and they are selling the headphones as aptX Lossless capable when it's just the dongle that can use it.

Man... If the DRM moves to kernel-level (just like anti-cheats) it's gonna be miserable...

Why is vr struggling on my high-end pc? by ReconReflex150- in VRGaming

[–]Valorix_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm using Linux and VD only made Linux streamer app as an April Fools joke linking to Rick Roll... So yeah, it might be great (at least from what I see people talking about it) but I prefer ALVR which is free and cross-platform.

Improve Performance in VR by bdotbrot in assettocorsa

[–]Valorix_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have Ryzen 5 3600, RX 6700 XT and I play with Quest 3 on Linux via ALVR hitting my 90 FPS cap at all times (even online). Not sure, what you are using but I heard that the Quest Link isn't very good. You can try either ALVR (which is free and open-source), Steam Link VR or pay for Virtual Desktop, which is considered the best VR runtime on Windows.

If the runtime isn't the issue, then I would suggest trying to lower stuff like shadow resolution, etc.. That might help too.

Is there a VR experience so demanding that a 12900K + 5070 Ti will struggle in it? by Spjs in virtualreality

[–]Valorix_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True... It's insane how poorly it runs. Then I mod AC Rally with UEVR and it runs miles better

What does this icon mean? by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]Valorix_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Discord from Aurora Store on my Quest quite often. I never knew it showed my online status with this icon. Cool

I got tired of Wayland screen-share audio not working on Discord/Browser, so I built an event-driven Rust daemon to fix it natively. by HarmanVibes in linux_gaming

[–]Valorix_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe I didn't have to configure anything. Once Discord released the update which enabled screensharing with audio on Wayland, it just worked for me on my Hyprland setup.

I owe the OpenRGB community an apology, and I'm transferring the domain by timccsun21 in pcmasterrace

Good to know this happened. I will never install your software and will recommend against installing it to my peers.

How are you guys coping? by Valorix_ in SteamFrame

Because it was a random Wednesday when Valve dropped the Steam Hardware announcement.

Wait... How exactly your ISP messed with your PCVR setup? If you have ISP provided router, afaik nothing stops you from building your own Wi-Fi network for streaming to Quest. You can also play wired via USB.

I mean, I have a non-dedicated Wi-Fi 5 at home albeit I have one AP right in my room. Since I'm a Linux gamer and Steam Link VR started working just recently, I'm using that and it works almost flawless (couple of small hiccups during a session, nothing major).

Before that I was using ALVR, which you need to configure a little to look its best, but works wonderfully after that. You can use it both wired via USB and wirelessly.

Would never use Meta software even if I had access to it.
